They are the people hit hard most!

The Diyawanna politicos, who forfeited their right to a monthly pension due to the mid-term dissolution of the council are a very unhappy set these days, they say.

This group sympathizing with one another about their ill-luck is said to be sharing the opinion that they are the people most adversely affected by the dissolution.
